lyrics

I kill my friends so they don’t kill me first
It’s so cold up here; don’t even know what time it is
You’re wonderful; you remember everything that happens
Away for fifteen years; don’t even know what time it is

So so long kid

I went back to the cellar of the house, I felt sick as the rain began to fall
My room was locked; couldn’t find the key, slept outside the door at the end of the hall
You woke me up when you came back in, my head was sore, my eyes were black
I saw the flash and I heard the crack, knew there and then there was no way back

So so long kid

I never wanted it to be like this, all I wanted was a your loving kiss
You’re lying on the floor, can’t get by to the door
I hear them coming and I want to hide
No single soul will be on my side

So so long kid

You’re wonderful; you remember everything that happens
